Foot pain is a classic Bartonella symptom.

Toni,

I had undiagnosed bartonella for about 14 years until I acquired lyme and the

bartonella was diagnosed [3 years ago] because the lyme refused to budge.

Looking back, the foot problems began early. They started with my feet being

hot all of the time; then my feet developed numbness and swelling just above my

ankles.

My herbalist suggested hot and cold foot baths as well as epsom salt baths.

Well, I have actually survived the foot thing with no pain, just some residual

numbness on the bottoms of my feet. Talk to your Naturopath about hot and cold

foot baths. I have been doing them for 10+ years. I also do my hands at the

same time.

Kathleen

RA type joint pain started about three years ago. I went to a Naturopath, who

was able to help the joint pain and swelling with diet, but then other problems

and symptoms started piling up. The bloodwork did not support an RA diagnosis,

so we pursued the problem with diet and homeopathic/naturopathic remedies.

Hi ,

I was reading your post and feel so bad for you. I had the foot pain wicked at

night, and I have recieved amazing relief when I had my Vit. D levels checked.

I

was at a 4! I'm now taking almost 75,000 IU's a week. My doctor gave me a

50,000 once a week and I suppliment with D3 the other 6 days. For me this

took 

away almost all the pain!!! I know we are all different and I've been getting

therapy for 5 months due to many complications with Lyme, Bart & babesia

myself. 

I'm not sure if the Vit. D was the magic bullet for me, but thought I would

share that with you as I often don't see anything mentioned about Vitiman D

bening associated with Lyme.  

Hang in there! Cyndee

Usually foot pain like that can be indicative of Bartonella. For my wife she

was not able to get relief from it until she started using a Meissner DP100

rife machine.

Perhaps others can suggest different treatments.

Immediate but temporary foot pain can be helped by Transcutaneous Electrical

Nerve Stimulation A TENS machine cost about $50 and if used properly work well,

they also stop muscle jerks and twitches by keeping a constant current running

through the nerves, When the right frequency is found there is no pain or

discomfort. I have used this site and had no problems. TOM
